Local towns & villages

Located in Bertinoro, Ca’ Bevilacqua is the perfect base for exploring the delights of Romagna. Being close to Ravenna, Rimini, the Montefeltro Valley and San Marino means that opportunities for discovering art & culture abound. The beaches of Milano Marittima and Lido di Classe are near at hand and so is the Mirabilandia theme park and the thermal spa at Fratta Terme. The rolling hills of Bertinoro offer to cycling guests the ideal route to indulge in a biking break that takes in wine & food tasting.

Bertinoro The name of this delightful town comes from a local legend concerning Galla Placidia, daughter of the Emperor Teodosio who once stayed in Bertinoro. The town offers the visitor ample opportunites for enjoying excellent food and wine and is known locally as the “balcony of Romagna”.

Ravenna Home of art and culture, Ravenna is the town of mosaics. The town boasts 8 sites which are UNESCO protected. The town is also home of the remains of the famous poet Dante Alighieri. Just outside the town on the Highway 16, the largest theme park in Italy is to be found: Mirabilandia.

Cervia Surrounded by pine forests and salt flats, with a 9 kilometre long beach and more than 185 beach facilities, Cervia is an oasis for fauna and wildlife and offers the visitor so many things to do. The salt flats should not be missed and local salt-based products can be purchased.

Milano Marittima Renowned and elegant seaside town, with numerous restaurants, top-class shops and boutiques, discos and trendy bars, Milano Marittima is the ideal place for those seeking fun and entertainment. Situated a few kilometres from Cervia, the town also hosts a long list of national sporting events each year.

San Leo UNESCO protected, San Leo sits proudly on the top of a mountain overlooking the Adriatic Sea. A visit to San Leo means a visit back in time. Nothing seems to have changed here since medieval days and the atmosphere is enchanting and romantic.

San Marino The oldest Republic in Europe, each year San Marino is visited by millions of tourists who wish to take advantage of its duty-free shopping but at the same time enjoy the historical aspects of this unique small and independent nation, land-locked and surrounded by Italy.
